Investment Rationale

Disclaimer
This Presentation and the exhibits attached herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements concern our anticipated results and developments in our operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and
other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet
determinable and assumptions of management. Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the
extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion
based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs,
plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as expects or does not expect, is expected,
anticipates or does not anticipate, plans, estimates or intends, or stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will (or the negative and
grammatical variations of any of these terms and similar expressions) be taken, occur or be achieved, are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Such
statements are included, among other places in this Presentation, in Regulatory filings in the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, "Description of Business" and "Description of Property." Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks and should not be read as
guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. Uncertainties and other factors which could
cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without Limitation:
risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits;
results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the
Company's expectations;
mining exploration risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production;
the potential for delays in exploration activities or the completion of feasibility studies;
risks related to the inherent uncertainty of exploration and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses;
risks related to commodity price fluctuations;
the uncertainty of profitability based upon the Company's history of losses;
risks related to failure of the Company and/or its joint venture partner to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms;
risks related to environmental regulation, permitting and liability; political and regulatory risks associated with mining and exploration;
other risks and uncertainties related to the Company's prospects, properties and business strategy.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are
described further in the sections of our Regulatory filings entitled Risk Factors, Information on the Company and Operating and Financial Review and Prospects and in the exhibits
attached to our Annual Report on Form 20-F. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described in the forward looking statements. Although the forward-looking information contained in this Presentation is based upon what the Companys
management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with such information. Forward looking
information reflects managements current beliefs and is based on information currently available to the Company. Such information reflects current assumptions regarding
future events and operating performance including, without limitation, a strong global demand for mineral commodities, continued funding and continued strength in the
industry in which the Company operates, and speaks only as of the date of this discussion. The forward-looking information is made as of the date of this Presentation.
The Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or managements beliefs, expectations or opinions change,
except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
